Chapter 36—The Impending Conflict
From the very beginning of the great
controversy in heaven it has been Satan's
purpose to overthrow the law of God. It was
to accomplish this that he entered upon his
rebellion against the Creator, and though he
was cast out of heaven he has continued the
same warfare upon the earth. To deceive
men, and thus lead them to transgress God's
law, is the object which he has steadfastly
pursued. Whether this be accomplished by
casting aside the law altogether, or by
rejecting one of its precepts, the result will be
ultimately the same. He that offends “in one
point,” manifests contempt for the whole law;
his influence and example are on the side of
transgression; he becomes “guilty of all.”
James 2:10.
